Chapter 204: 5-12!
He Mu has always felt that the template for Chinese blockbusters is "Hero", Zhang Yimou single-handedly brought Chinese films into the blockbuster era, but in the following years, so many blockbusters have emerged, including several of Zhang Yimou's own works, none of which have surpassed the influence and box office of "Hero", and successfully ruined the reputation of Chinese costume blockbusters.
"Red Cliff" was pinned on by filmmakers, hoping to save the reputation of Chinese blockbusters with this movie, but He Mu felt that this possibility was unlikely after watching this movie, and it might even further ruin the reputation of Chinese blockbusters.
It is undeniable that director Wu Yusen's work is sincere, well-made, magnificent, and the war scenes are shocking, Hu Jun's Zhao Zilong, Zang Jinsheng's Zhang Fei all have excellent martial arts performances, Lin Zhiling's film debut was a cooperation with Liang Chaowei and Zhao Wei from the beginning, but the gentle and elegant Xiao Qiao and these big names are not left behind, although the acting skills are blunt, but the momentum is not lost to anyone, and even from this upper part, Lin Zhiling is more like the heroine, Zhao Wei's role is not as brilliant as hers.
The film shows a lot of the historical features of the Three Kingdoms period, some of the sets and props are very historical, and it can be seen that the behind-the-scenes staff have worked hard, but there are still many things that people are not very satisfied with throughout the film, the most prominent and unacceptable is that the purpose of the Battle of Chibi was the war launched by Cao Cao in order to compete for Xiao Qiao.
That's right, Cao Cao wrote the poem "Tongque Chun Shen Locks Er Qiao" to express his love for the two Jiangdong beauties, but there is no lack of political purpose. It is a bit of an understatement to write Cao Cao as such an old lover trapped by love, perhaps this can make the theme of the movie more romantic, and even remind foreign audiences of the Trojan war launched for the beautiful Helen in "Troy". Thus creating an intimate feeling for this Chinese historical blockbuster, but what about the feelings of the Chinese themselves? At least He Mu felt that such a setting did not please him, and he would rather Cao Cao start this war to destroy his enemies who unified the country.
There are also lines. It's unrealistic to speak entirely in old language, but it's also a problem that the dialogue is too modern and fashionable, and it can give people a sense of dislocation in time and space. Some lines, such as Zhuge Liang's "slightly understood". And Little Joe's "Meng Meng, stand up." They all poked He Mu's laughter, and he was very curious. In order to name the pony born in Chudi, it will be named "Meng Meng", does it have anything to do with it, why he can't figure it out.
In addition to the flaws in the plot and lines, "Red Cliff. There is also a big problem with "Shang". A complete movie should tell a complete story. Even the usual series of movies in Hollywood, leaving an easter egg or tail at the end of this one, is also for the next one to have more surprises, in fact, each one is a complete story, and it will not make people feel confused and don't know what to say.
But "Red Cliff" is a story and a movie that are forcibly split into two halves, just watch "Red Cliff. "Up" is an incomplete work at all, and the story is only half told. laid out the upcoming battle, and stopped abruptly when Sun Shucai, played by He Mu, was playing football. It makes people can't go up and down, and it looks very depressing.
Overall, He Mu feels that "Red Cliff. "Shang" is definitely a super blockbuster at the domestic first-line level, and the big scenes and special effects application are far more than Zhang Yimou's blockbuster three consecutive releases, but there will be some criticisms in the plot, lines and rhythm, if you think it is harmless, then this will be a visual feast that you should not miss, if you have to be more serious, it will be an unbearable bad movie.
He Mu thinks that "Red Cliff. The reputation of "Shang" will not be too good, but the box office will not be bad, such a strong lineup, such a huge investment, and large companies such as China Film, Bona, and Orange Sky are still standing behind it, even if it breaks the Chinese box office record, it is not impossible.
At the end of the movie, the ending song is played by Ai Hui singer, a Chinese Tibetan girl Alain. Dawa Zhuoma sang "Heart War", the soundtrack and theme song of the film are almost all created by Japan's Ai Hui Records, because Ai Hui is the major shareholder of Orange Sky, and Orange Sky is the main investor of "Red Cliff", so the movie has a lot of Japanese film styles and influences, and Japan is also one of the main markets of "Red Cliff", the Japanese have always respected China's Warring States and Three Kingdoms culture, so in Japan, "Red Cliff" has an inherent advantage compared with other Chinese films.
When the movie was completely over, everyone stood up and applauded, this applause was dedicated to director Wu Yusen, although there are such and such problems, but "Red Cliff. "Up" is definitely a shocking work, and it is the most exciting among the epic blockbusters of recent years. Although He Mu didn't see his performance, only a flashing kick shot, Director Wu was definitely qualified to accept his praise.
Walking out of the screening hall, Lin Zhiling asked Zhao Wei in a low voice, "Did you feel the ground moving just now?" ”
"It does seem to be a little." Zhao Wei nodded.
He Mu listened behind the two, it turned out that it wasn't his own feeling, could it be an earthquake?
At this time, a staff member hurriedly ran over and said to Han Sanping in shock: "There is an earthquake, there is a big earthquake in Siqi!" ”
"Four earthquakes? Just when the movie was about to end, I felt as if the ground was moving, could it be that the earthquake had reached the capital, how big was this earthquake? Yu Dong, who was beside Han Sanping, said in surprise.
The staff member told him that the earthquake was initially predicted to be 7.9 on the Richter scale (later revised to 8.0), and that the epicenter was in the city of Wenchuan.
Everyone gasped, 7.9 level, better than the original Tang. The mountain earthquake will be 0.1 magnitude higher, and those who have a little geographical knowledge know that every time the magnitude of the Richter scale increases by one level, the energy of the eruption is 30 times that of the previous level, so the magnitude of the earthquake is more backward, the more damage caused is several times that of the front.
Although He Mu has not experienced 76 years of Tang. The earthquake in the mountains, but his parents often told him about the events of the year, and Hengshui, which was also in the northern boundary of Hebei, was also greatly affected, and many houses were damaged to a great extent. The mountain city was completely razed to the ground. Wenchuan earthquake than Tang. The earthquake is even stronger, so you can imagine what Wenchuan City will look like now.
In just a few minutes of discussion, several artists' agents called them one after another, asking them to stop the work at hand and go back to the company first.
After returning to the company, He Mu asked Datang Yida if the endorsement fee had arrived, and if the other party called, he would donate it directly.
On the way back, he continued to receive the tragic situation of Siqi from various ways, the entire Siqi Province centered on Wenchuan has suffered huge losses, several small cities have been almost razed to the ground, and the terrain of Siqi is complex, mountainous and watery, earthquakes will cause other disasters such as mudslides, and other surrounding provinces have also been affected by the earthquake. This earthquake came too violently and too suddenly, and this is not the time to delve into the meaning of the existence of the earthquake bureau, but how to save the affected people and rebuild their homes after that is the most important thing.
Datang nodded, and Xiao Fang said: "This time, the endorsement fee company will not participate in the distribution, and all 1.4 million will be donated in your name, and the company will also take out 2 million." ”
At this time, Xiao Fang was browsing the information about the earthquake on the Internet, and now almost all the Internet is talking about this catastrophe, reporters and the military have been stationed in Siqi as quickly as possible, and sent the latest news there, after the destruction of the earthquake, Siqi has become a purgatory on earth, those pictures and the tragic situation of the children and the elderly on the pictures make people unbearable to look at directly, many fast-moving companies have begun to donate, Xiao Fang, a tough guy, has also moved his heart of compassion.
With a heavy heart, He Mu returned to the apartment, turned on the TV, and each channel no longer broadcast other programs, and uniformly broadcast the text and audio-visual news from the reporter from the front line of the earthquake.
He Mu put down the "Red Cliff" and "True Treasure" in his mind, turned on the computer, and wrote an article on the blog "Come on China, come on Siqi!" Today's He Mu blog has no wind and snow, no Qing Qing for Zilin, today's article only has the deep condolences of an ordinary Chinese to the death of compatriots, and calls on all compatriots to do their best to help the people affected by the disaster.
This is the most sensational article written by He Mu, very different from his style, after publication, He Mu fell asleep sleepily, and the next day He Mu saw a strong response on the blog, and many He Mu fans said that they would raise funds to donate to the earthquake victims, which made He Mu proud that he had so many kind fans, and he felt that he could do more than donate money.
China after the earthquake. In addition to the tenacious struggle of the people in the disaster area, the ordinary people and people in the entertainment industry are also actively running for the disaster area, in the next few days, the filming speed of "True Treasure" slowed down, He Mu participated in the star fundraising activities of the One Foundation most of the time, and raised more funds for the disaster area with his influence, because the active fundraising fans are strong and the amount of fundraising is large, Mr. Li Lianjie specially thanked He Mu, During this time, through the One Foundation, He Mu also met many showbiz people who are keen on charity.
In the face of the disaster, the positive response of the entertainment industry has been praised by the public opinion circle, including He Mu, Huang Xiaoming, Li Yuchun and other young artists have set an example and actively participated in charity, of course, some artists have done some very inappropriate things during this time, which has caused public outrage and verbal criticism......
